Energy Efficiency Made Easier
Air sealing, insulation, proper ventilation, and LED bulbs can make a significant impact on monthly utility bills. And for households with income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, our weatherization program can help reduce the energy burden, while improving home safety and durability.
After qualifying for assistance, and assuring a home’s livability, our assessors work with local contractors to determine the most effective weatherization methods. For those who don’t qualify, we offer information and advice via a community resources fair for easy, DIY improvements.
Available in Marion and Polk counties

Stories
Linda’s house had been without hot water, a working toilet, or heating for over three years when her case came across our case manager Ingrid’s desk. Through the effort from the whole Weatherization team, we were able to partner with Oregon Cascade Heating and Plumbing to replace Linda’s furnace, plumbing, and water heater. Linda and her house are now ready for cold winters.
